Cartier and Saks Promotion

Just in case you are planning to add to your Cartier collection, Cartier at Saks Dadeland Mall, FL (the only Saks that has Cartier in it), is having a promo right now where you can buy any piece(s) you want with 12 months no interest with your Saks MPA account. I can refer you to my wonderful SA there. She's very good with returning calls and she's impeccable with her packaging.  Let me know soon since the promo will run for another 2 weeks and as of right now she has a pretty good selection, including Love bracelets in YG or even RG.

Happy Easter!

Training Week

We are having some training today and tomorrow in the office. I'm not involved in any way but that means I can't do casual on these 2 days. I was thinking of wearing my Jason Wu for Target dress, but the rain hasn't stopped this morning so I couldn't be bothered. I ended up wearing almost all black but I'm pretty pleased :-)

ODJ: Black top from Old Navy, Blazer from Tokito (Australia), Black skinny from SFAM, Black Chanel J12, Black/White heels from Casadei, Pearls from Chanel and Cartier Love bracelets.

Anniversary 2012

Couple of pics from today's outing. Our wedding anniversary is actually yesterday, but we celebrate it today instead. I'm wearing my double Love bracelets today too :-)

This Time is PERFECT

My 2nd Love bracelet finally arrives (again) and this time she is beautiful. I'm truly happy now so here is a quick picture of them together. Pardon the phone picture, but I'm at work and I was on my lunch break.
This weekend when DH and I celebrate our wedding anniversary, I will post more pictures :-)

Delay

I know I promised to post some pictures for the 2 Love bracelets however without going to too much details, I had to return the 2nd love bracelet the same day I got it. All I can say, it didn't look as pristine that I would like to be due to the way they packaged the bracelet. In the box I found the 2 separate pieces and screwdriver without being protected whatsoever so you can imagine the condition of that poor Love hitting each other during the overnight trip.

After multiple calls they finally sending me a new one today and I should get it by tomorrow. Fingers cross that this time it will be perfect. Good thing I will put myself on a ban after this. I'm so traumatized by this experience and I almost fainted when I opened the red box.

Anyway though I can definitely recommend 2 SAs from Cartier Dallas that have been helpful through this whole thing, I can also recommend who you should avoid. I won't write off Cartier Dallas completely, but knowing who you should see or contact definitely a bonus.

Till tomorrow.

My 2nd Love is here!

She finally arrives safely after overnight FedEx trip from Dallas :D
I cannot wait to get home so I can get DH to put it on and maybe take some pics. My Love bracelets are now complete. I think I'm going to put myself on a ban for luxury items for a while.

ps. The price increase is totally coming in a week or two. The SA told me herself. So if you plan to get something in the next few months, may as well get them now.

Cartier Love Bracelet #2

is arriving tomorrow! Can't wait to take pics of them stack together. By the way I ordered another YG only because I cannot bear making my (future) daughter in laws pick one over the other lol. They will have the exact same one, one week apart :D (I know I sounded crazy right now haha..oh well...I know I'm giving them away one day anyway).

By the way this time I ordered from Cartier Dallas. I just refused to order anything from Houston. They were so snotty to me over the phone, so they are not going to get my money. It's not my fault we don't have Cartier here in Austin and my only option is to call. But when my questions bothering you, I really take offense. PLUS it's not a cheap item. Oh well...I'm happy now anyway. I'm not going to let anyone ruin my mood.

xoxo

Hmm...I dont even want to open it!

But I guess I should hey...I'm not even sure the size is correct hahaha. I ordered this from Saks Dadeland mall FL on Tuesday and I received it like 30 minutes ago.
I have this crazy idea that I should buy one more because I was thinking both of them will be my presents for my future daughter in laws one day. Am I crazy? The boys are only 13 months old! DH thinks it's not necessary but he didn't object either. But he did say, how cumbersome that screwdriver would be hahaha.

Update: OK, it fits. I of course unable to screw this myself but I put the 2 pieces together to see if they will cover my whole wrist and it did with small room to move (I was told that this shouldn't be too loose on your wrist or you scratch it even more).

xoxo

So I thought I post some pictures of me with the bracelet on. The first picture you can see I can roll the bracelet all the way down at the bottom of my wrist. The second picture I can roll it down to about 2 inches from where the bone is. I also can turn the bracelet 360 degrees but it does take effort which is good, that means I don't have to keep adjusting it. It was quite weird to have the bracelet on while sleeping but I think I'll get used to it.

5th Wedding Anniversary

is coming up in about 3 weeks. I think I'm going to spoil myself a little :-)
I'm thinking jewelries, something dainty from Cartier perhaps since I love my Ballon Bleu watch so much I probably should get something to complement it?

But I don't have any Cartier boutique nearby and it literally making me feel violent HAHA. I don't know what I'd do. I spoke to a lovely Cartier SAs from Dallas and Boca Raton, FL yesterday though and I'll see what I can get through them. For now I don't even know what I want. So many gorgeous pieces and I'm trying to get something before the price increase at end of March.

Suggestions?

Shopping Rambling

I need new ballet flats and new sandals. Oh how I want to spend a day going shopping uninterrupted. Those days are gone I suppose. Just when I was thinking about it, M my NM's SA txt me with the special event currently happening in NM. Asked me if I want to attend and she can add me to her RSVP list. Meh..as if I can go haha! They always have this on mid week after work. If they are doing it on the weekend I may get DH to watch the kids for few hours ;-)

Anyway, I had to email her few things that I want...I don't even know if they have it in Austin NM. Have you noticed how small our NM here??

So this Prada flat thong was on my list. I want it in every colors but I told her I will settle with the gold one.

And oh..I order a replacement for my SFAM bootcut jeans. My current one has finally died at 8 years old! Can you believe it. I love that jeans so much that I have to have the exact same one. Well...ok I cannot find the NY dark rinse anymore but I found the equivalent. I hope nothing change in terms of cut, comfort and the fit. I'm going to cry if it looks funny on me.

Umm..what else. I had my eyes on Burberry and Prada flats too, then dogeared zodiac necklaces then some Roberto Coin items. Once I sees them all, then I can decide which one to cull. It's amazing what one hour on internet can do to you. I'm sure it's worse if I'm at the store. For now I only can browse from home.

On Saturday I gathered all of the boys stuffs that they refused to touch anymore (bouncer, jumperoo, baby carriers..stuffs like that) and I started writing an ad so I can sell them. I despise clutters. If I see something that kinda sit in one space for a period of time (with the exception of stuffs that sit in my closet HAHA) I started to get paranoid about it and want that block of space back. I'm weird like that. By Sunday afternoon, I sold most of the stuffs I want to sell. It's really funny to see the boys just kinda stared at those items while being taken away by strangers. To be honest, I lost a lot of money this way. I always buy brand new but my boys don't always like what I bought. Or if they do, it took only few months before they get over it. That's when that thing will sit there and it annoys the hell out of me that I have to sell it. And you know what, I couldn't even recoup half of what I spent sometimes despite it looks like new. Babies/kids items just don't hold much values (like mommy's Chanel)..but hey it's better than just sitting there.

Ok, I think enough of my rambling today! I'll post some more later.

StrollAir My Duo

People in NYC are currently crazy about this StrollAir My Duo. I love mine, but if I saw this a year ago, I would definitely get it. Not only it's lighter than mine, it came with many accessories like mosquito nets, rain cover and even diaper bag!
But of course this cutie cannot be found anywhere in TX which is sux so you cannot see it in person. Anyway...love love this! Now I'm dreaming about the green or red as a backup stroller in my car haha..but I don't think DH will let me :-)

Look at her...so pretty!

Happy Valentine's Day!

You know...the office is kinda boring today. Nobody gets flowers haha, nobody wears pink meanwhile, the office next door closed for 2 hours. They put the sign up that says "Out for firm luncheon" which I thought is lovely. Valentine's day is not all about lovey dovey couples ya know. We spent at least 8 hours a day with the people we worked with, 5 days straight but yet no love (in our office) HAHA.

I gave the boys Valentine's day cards to take to school this morning. I believe they are doing cards swap today which is sweet.

So anyway, I hope you have a great Valentine's day. May you surrounded by love all day everyday!!. 

ps. I'm still waiting patiently for the boys' 1st Birthday pictures. I'm so desperate and I want to see them, but I probably have to wait for another week or two.

72 Hours

before my boys' 1st Birthday party and um you know what, I'm stressing! Good thing that I won't host this party at my home because this is too hard lol. Super busy this Saturday and as of right now I'm only hoping for great weather, great party and well behaved boys (and I'm praying for them not to get sick this weekend-which sometimes inevitable when they are at daycare all day everyday). I have my outfit ready and I've been going back and forth about this. Initially I wanted to wear my black mod dress from Emersonmade since I'm trying to do the 60s (because I'm obsessed with Mad Men haha) but it's a little big so it looks like I'm going to wear my BCBGMaxAzria dress in navy. I have my new Chanel pearls necklace to go with so I'm excited to play a little dress up.

Back to the boys, being one year young marks something else. My babies will start school! I wasn't too happy with their current daycare (but won't go to too many details here) and after much research DH and I have decided that they are going to Montessori instead (the minimum age requirement for this school is one). No more daycare, no more cribs and bunch of babies toys. We are excited for them! I'll keep you posted on how they are doing there.

Anyway, I gotta do few more things before Saturday. I will post pics of their birthday party when I get them from the photographer :-)
